Not Worth Working For

Pros

Good at teaching technicians how to install.

Cons

Horrible management, low pay, not enough work in the area and you will travel for months at a time. Scheduler doesn't look at how far you live from job sites. Will old you back from position due to the fact they don't know what they are doing.

Pros

Very minimal pros. Maybe good pay out of college but that is it.

Cons

Low wage enticement. They come off as a "family company" but they are not. This is one of the worst jobs I have ever had. Denying pay to someone when they leave the company is probably something I hope you don't have to deal with. Travel is at 50%, but yet I traveled 80% and barely was able to come home, even when asked to stay in town. Terrible moral with JS and IT's. No need for support or formality. Extremely unprofessional and do not care about your well being. Upper management constantly on attack with your performance, whether it be time sheets, missing paperwork, or fixed assets. I don't see how anyone sticks with the company longer than a couple of years. Employees call this place Ford University, because they want the experience and better pay with a forward plan. I saw many people leave the company and take better positions that treated them way more fairly than this excuse of a train wreck. Constant heckling when at corporate is what threw me to find another job instantly.

Pros

Made some really good friends. Learned a lot about the industry.

Cons

Low pay Never get reviewed for raises or promotions No benefits You have to pay for all your own tools (even specialty ones) and are 100% responsible for replacing them if stolen/broken Horrible communication Often times don’t know where you are working Sometimes you find out last minute you are traveling out of town for two weeks Extreme micro management on every level Low pay Low pay They promise that the low salaries are made up by quarterly “Profit sharing” but they never explain how it is divided amongst everyone and often times “cap” out the amount that people get. No benefits Low pay (hope you get the point) Extremely high turnover rate Morale is extremely low
